Baltimore Sun predictions for Orioles vs. Tigers in the American League Division Series

Karl Merton Ferron, Baltimore Sun

Prediction: Orioles in five games The Orioles won more games than Detroit did. They've had a more complete year. And they don't have a glaring weakness, where the Tigers do with an unsettled bullpen. Playoffs often come down to the late innings, and the Orioles have the major edge there.

Prediction: Orioles in five games Detroit's starting pitching is tough, but all hands are on deck in a best-of-five series, so expect Buck Showalter to leave no stone unturned in playing matchups. The Orioles have overcome injury and adversity all season long, so don't expect that to change now.
